40 Dealing with plots located close to stratum boundaries
(1) This section applies if the intended location coordinates for a plot fall close to the boundary of a stratum.
(2) Except where subsection 36(2), or subsections (4) to (6), apply, if the intended location coordinates are within the stratum boundary, a plot must be established so that the difference between the actual location coordinates and intended location coordinates is no greater than the location tolerance specified in subsection 53(2).
Note: Subsection 36(2) requires the project proponent to relocate a plot to the nearest safe point if establishing a plot at the intended location coordinates would constitute a serious safety risk.
(3) If the intended location coordinates fall outside the stratum boundary, no plot is to be established at that location.
(4) If part of the boundary of a plot falls outside the stratum boundary, the location of the centre for the plot must be determined.
(5) If the location of the centre of the plot specified in subsection (4) falls outside the stratum boundary, then no plot is to be assessed at that location.
(6) If the location of the centre of the plot specified in subsection (4) falls inside the stratum boundary, then the plot is to be assessed.
